Climate tech firm hails hydrogen biotech breakthrough | Hydrogen

A climate tech energy firm is claiming an industry breakthrough after producing ‘bio-stimulated’ hydrogen without drilling, electrolysis or energy-intensive surface facilities. Gold H2’s field trial, conducted in a legacy oilfield in California’s San Joaquin Basin, leverages microbiology and existing infrastructure to produce clean hydrogen directly from the subsurface. The trial recorded results of 40% hydrogen in the gas stream and 400,000 ppm of hydrogen in produced gases. ChampionX LLC, which specialises in engineered technologies, served as the oilfield services provider. “Gold H2 exists to do what no one ever has: produce clean hydrogen directly in the subsurface using biology, engineering, and existing energy infrastructure,” said CEO Prabhdeep Singh Sekhon. “This field trial is tangible proof. We’ve taken a climate liability and turned it into a scalable, low-cost hydrogen solution. It’s a new blueprint for decarbonisation, built… Read More »Climate tech firm hails hydrogen biotech breakthrough | Hydrogen

Liebreich provocations on cost spark debate at London hydrogen event | swiss green energy firm morgen energy

Michael Liebreich, the analyst and investor behind the ‘Hydrogen Ladder’, which organises the molecule’s use cases into an order of likely adoption, has repeated his recent calls for a reset when it comes to hydrogen and its applications. In a keynote interview at the FT Hydrogen Summit 2025 in London, Liebreich’s growing scepticism about the direction and progress of the industry was front and centre. “I find it hard to say, but hydrogen is not a good fuel [for some of its target use cases],” he said. “It won’t do heating; it won’t do transport. It won’t even do ammonia. It is just too expensive.” Liebreich’s provocative words to a room of committed hydrogen industry players argued that politics was at work, with policymakers having become attached to hydrogen as an article of faith, in… Read More »Liebreich provocations on cost spark debate at London hydrogen event | swiss green energy firm morgen energy

Spanish energy firms to turn salt cavern into hydrogen storage | Hydrogen

Spanish companies Solvay and Enagás plan to develop a hydrogen storage hub in Cantabria, Spain, that could play a role in Europe’s decarbonisation efforts. The project will involve the partners repurposing salt caverns – originally created for the production of soda ash – for the long-term storage of hydrogen. Solvay, a soda ash production specialist, is now actively repurposing its network of salt caverns into strategic assets for energy storage, particularly for hydrogen and compressed air. … to continue reading this article and more, please login, register for free, or consider subscribing to gasworld You’ve reached your weekly limit to access free articles!

FT Hydrogen Summit: Hydrogen Council urges pragmatism in ‘rollercoaster’ world | drive final investments

The hydrogen industry and the governments that support it in key markets need to maintain focus and keep investing in a changing world. The pitch was made by Ivana Jemelkova, CEO of the Hydrogen Council, which is a key global advocate for the industry. She was addressing delegates in an on-stage interview at the FT Hydrogen Summit 2025 in London. “There are many variables and pressures when it comes to hydrogen. And at times it feels like a rollercoaster ride in relation to the molecule’s regulation. But the trajectory of the hydrogen industry is clear: the industry is growing fast in terms of committed capital, and things are maturing and moving. The strongest large projects, in particular, are succeeding,” said Jemelkova. The need for pragmatism that Jemelkova made was reference to the West’s quest for… Read More »FT Hydrogen Summit: Hydrogen Council urges pragmatism in ‘rollercoaster’ world | drive final investments

John Cockerill Hydrogen raises €116m for electrolyser push

Engineering firm John Cockerill Hydrogen has secured €116m in a second capital raise which enables it to roll out its next generation of pressurised alkaline electrolyser technologies. Fluxys, a Belgian infrastructure group, has joined the operation as a strategic partner after acquiring an undisclosed stake, which opens up the prospect of developing a hydrogen value chain. The support of Belgian sovereign wealth fund SFPIM and regional public body Wallonie Entreprendre complement John Cockerill’s roots, while global tech company SLB and Rely, the joint venture with Technip Energies, strengthen its industrial profile. The group, which secured $230m in a 2024 financing round, is working on a portfolio of projects and plans to deliver them from its global manufacturing centres. The company said the new raise covered “nearly all” the funding needed to scale the hydrogen business.… Read More »John Cockerill Hydrogen raises €116m for electrolyser push

TES and CPC Finland announce Finnish e-NG joint venture | Carbon Dioxide News

Synthetic fuels company Tree Energy Solutions and renewables outfit CPC Finland have launched a joint company, Luoto Energia, which aims to produce electric natural gas (e-NG), the green synthetic gas made from renewable hydrogen and CO2 that TES produces. The project, on a 20-hectare site in an extended area of the Port of Rauma, will have an electrolyser capacity of up to 500MW and is expected to produce around 60,000 tonnes of green hydrogen that can be converted into 125,000 tonnes of e-NG (also known as e-methane) per year. The biogenic CO2 needed for e-NG production will be sourced from Finnish biogenic emitters. Marco Alverà, Co-founder and Chief Executive of TES, said, “As a drop-in fuel, e-NG can be used to decarbonise sectors such as steel, shipping and heavy transport.” The green hydrogen may make… Read More »TES and CPC Finland announce Finnish e-NG joint venture | Carbon Dioxide News

UK launches 10-year industrial strategy with push on clean power and digital

The UK is doubling investment in clean energy industries to more than £30bn a year by 2035 under its 10-year industrial strategy that launches today [23 June]. But the initial 22-page document is light on specific details, beyond ‘prioritising investment’ for the so-called IS-8 categories (advanced manufacturing, defence, clean energy, digital and technology, creative, financial services, life sciences, and professional and business services). The UK government claims the intervention will boosts 7,000 businesses that will see their electricity bills fall 25% from 2027, by up to £40 per megawatt hour. In particular, electricity-intensive manufacturing businesses will be exempt from paying levies such as the renewables obligation, feed-in tariffs and the capacity market, helping level the playing field and make them more internationally competitive. Eligibility and further details on the exemptions will be determined following consultation,… Read More »UK launches 10-year industrial strategy with push on clean power and digital
